I would think you need something between .670-.685 constriction. I think the tghtwad be a little to snug, the REM SF may work.

Every gun can be different, but I shot a 2 oz load through a 26" 870 with a Carlson .675 last year and it was too tight (blown/irregular patterns). So I wen to the Rem "Extra Full" which is a .687.

Try the RSF. It has work on a few for me.

There are no numbers on any of my clocks below 8. Then all of a sudden, 2 days before turkey season they appear. Then right after the season they disappear.
What's up with that
